Amid doubts over future of IPL, MS Dhoni’s ‘You must let him go’ remark goes viral

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) icon MS Dhoni has suggested that it is important to be afraid if you want to improve. CSK have won the Indian Premier League (IPL) five times, all under Dhoni’s captaincy, and the veteran wicket-keeper has often been credited for instilling the right mentality in the players who have played for the franchise over the years. In a video uploaded by CSK, Dhoni emphasized the need to recruit the right players for the team rather than big names.

“Fear is very important. You have to have that fear because unless, if I’m not afraid, I can never be brave. I can never be brave, you know. So I’ve always felt that fear is important, that pressure It’s important because it helps me make the right decision, keeping everything in mind. If I’m afraid, many people say I’m not afraid,” Dhoni said in a video uploaded by. CSK.

Dhoni also clarified how to get the most out of an individual rather than focusing on attracting the biggest names.

“We have a very good player on our team, but he is drastically different from our environment. So what do we look for? We want him to take that step towards the team’s goal and we are happy to take three steps towards it. But let’s say that’s not the case. The second best thing is you keep doing what you’re doing, but don’t get in our way. That’s the second best thing is to let him go. think tank is to get the most out of the individual. If he is very good for the team, I will try in every way to ensure that he becomes an asset.

The 42-year-old added that if a great player is struggling to adapt to the team environment, there is no problem in letting him go as the team’s interest should always be the priority.

“But he also needs to be willing to take that step. If he doesn’t take the first step, I may choose the second option, but at some point (I will have to take a call). the whole team adapts to the individual because this is wrong. So, you have to let it go. He may be the best player, but you have to let him go. Someone will come and take his place. as good as he is, but it will help the team to perform better,” he added.
